Abstract
In a starter car for a drilling device for mining underground deposits, including a base frame ( 5 ) mounted to rotate about a vertical axis ( 6 ) and a starter pipe ( 7 ) mounted to pivot about a substantially horizontal axis ( 13 ) and provided for receiving the drilling device, the starter pipe ( 7 ) is arranged to be displaceable relative to the base frame ( 5 ) transversely to the horizontal pivot axis ( 13 ).
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1. A starter car for a drilling device for mining underground deposits, comprising:
a base frame ( 5 ) mounted to rotate about a vertical axis ( 6 ), and
a starter pipe ( 7 ) mounted to pivot about a substantially horizontal pivot axis ( 13 ) and arranged to receive the drilling device, wherein
the starter pipe ( 7 ) is arranged to be displaceable relative to the base frame ( 5 ) transversely to the horizontal pivot axis ( 13 ) in a generally horizontal plane; and,
the starter pipe ( 7 ) comprises axially extendible support elements ( 16 , 17 ) mounted to be extendible in an axial direction of the starter pipe ( 7 ) to brace the starter pipe ( 7 ) within a road.
2. A starter car according to claim 1 , wherein the starter pipe ( 7 ) is pivotally fixed to a carriage ( 10 ), and
the carriage ( 10 ) is displaceable transversely to the horizontal pivot axis ( 13 ).
3. A starter car according to claim 2 , wherein the starter pipe ( 7 ) is guided in a pivotally mounted guide frame ( 15 ) so as to be displaceable transversely to the horizontal pivot axis ( 13 ).
4. A starter car according to claim 2 , wherein the substantially horizontal pivot axis ( 13 ) extends below a horizontal central plane of the starter pipe ( 7 ).
5. A starter car according to claim 2 , wherein the base frame ( 5 ) is rotationally mounted on a movable main frame ( 2 ).
6. A starter car according to claim 1 , wherein the starter pipe ( 7 ) is guided in a pivotally mounted guide frame ( 15 ) so as to be displaceable transversely to the horizontal pivot axis ( 13 ).
7. A starter car according to claim 6 , wherein
the starter pipe ( 7 ) is pivotally fixed to a carriage ( 10 ),
the carriage ( 10 ) is displaceable transversely to the horizontal pivot axis ( 13 ), and
the guide frame ( 15 ) is pivotally mounted on the carriage ( 10 ).
8. A starter car according to claim 7 , wherein a pivot drive ( 14 ) for pivoting the starter pipe ( 7 ) engages at the carriage ( 10 ).
9. A starter car according to claim 7 , wherein the substantially horizontal pivot axis ( 13 ) extends below a horizontal central plane of the starter pipe ( 7 ).
10. A starter car according to claim 6 , wherein the substantially horizontal pivot axis ( 13 ) extends below a horizontal central plane of the starter pipe ( 7 ).
11. A starter car according to claim 6 , wherein the base frame ( 5 ) is rotationally mounted on a movable main frame ( 2 ).
12. A starter car according to claim 1 , wherein the substantially horizontal pivot axis ( 13 ) extends below a horizontal central plane of the starter pipe ( 7 ).
13. A starter car according to claim 12 , wherein a pivot drive ( 14 ) for pivoting the starter pipe ( 7 ) engages at a carriage ( 10 ).
14. A starter car according to claim 1 , wherein the base frame ( 5 ) is rotationally mounted on a movable main frame ( 2 ).
15. A starter car according to claim 14 , wherein the movable main frame ( 2 ) comprises laterally extendible support elements ( 25 ) mounted for vertical support of the starter car.
16. A starter car according to claim 1 , wherein a first one of the axially extendible support elements ( 16 ) is mounted to be adjustable to abut against a roof, and a second one of the axially extendible support elements ( 17 ) is mounted to be adjustable to abut against the base frame ( 5 ).
17. A starter car according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the axially extendible support elements ( 16 , 17 ) comprises supporting struts ( 21 ) mounted so as to be foldable out laterally and pressable against a lateral face.
18. A starter car according to claim 1 , wherein
the starter pipe ( 7 ) is pivotally fixed to a carriage ( 10 ),
the carriage ( 10 ) is displaceable transversely to the horizontal pivot axis ( 13 ),
the starter pipe ( 7 ) is guided in a pivotally mounted guide frame ( 15 ) so as to be displaceable transversely to the horizontal pivot axis ( 13 ),
the guide frame ( 15 ) is pivotally mounted on the carriage ( 10 ),
the substantially horizontal pivot axis ( 13 ) extends below a horizontal central plane of the starter pipe ( 7 ),
a pivot drive ( 14 ) for pivoting the starter pipe ( 7 ) engages at the carriage ( 10 ),
the base frame ( 5 ) is rotationally mounted on a movable main frame ( 2 ),
the movable main frame ( 2 ) comprises laterally extendible support elements ( 25 ) mounted for vertical support of the starter car,
a first one of the axially extendible support elements ( 16 ) is mounted to be adjustable to abut against a roof, and a second one of the axially extendible support elements ( 17 ) is mounted to be adjustable to abut against the base frame ( 5 ), and
at least one of the axially extendible support elements ( 16 , 17 ) comprises supporting struts ( 21 ) mounted so as to be foldable out laterally and pressable against a lateral face.Cited by (0)
